It’s still sinking in that this adventure started over a year ago and that we just had our first release of our SECOND year. From the time that I started Reverse Confetti, I said that I never wanted to be the biggest, I just wanted to do and be the best. Of course, the first year presented a few learning opportunities, plenty of fun, lots of creativity and tons of moments where I sat back and thought about how thankful I am that I get to share my passion in this format. Of course, I wouldn’t be sitting back and reviewing the past year in awe without YOU! Our customers/’Fetti Fans are amazing! Thank you all for such a wonderful first year…here’s to many more!

Our next order of business today is pretty “FAB!” Did you see?…we’re the featured company over on MOXIE FAB WORLD this week. I’m just *a wee bit* excited Teri featuring us. Thanks, Teri!!

Here’s a pic of the Moxie Fab Teri, along with me and Freida Fox and the CHA Winter show this year…

A little of this. A little of that. Now, a card!

It’s Tuesday and TIME FOR A CARD TUESDAY. I am really digging the watercolor trend that is in full swing right now. My Facebook feed is flooded with images of “homework” from a class that I just know that I should signed up for. No time for classes at the moment, but I gave watercoloring a go on my own for this card using the new LET’S CHILL stamps set and LET’S CHILL Confetti Cuts..

The popsicles are done in ombre watercolor. When I created this, I didn’t have any watercolors other than my kid’s Crayola ones (with colors are mixed together), so I opted for using my Tombow markers. I colored on a plastic plate and then picked up the ink using an aqua-painter. I saturated the (watercolor) paper in yellow and then brushed upward to get an ombre effect…perfect for these popsicles! I just love the way it came out!

As you can see, the top portion of the popsicle has the center lines cut out. I then popped this up on a solid popsicle (light yellow) for added dimension. I kept the embellishments simple…sequins with rhinestones and washi tape, as I really wanted the popsicles to take center stage.

I’ll be experimenting a little more with watercolors, too. I just picked up a Kuretake Gansai Tambi set of 24 from Amazon. WOW, these colors are amazing! Vibrant and rich. I need to get used to them, as these aren’t your kid’s Crayolas!…and when I do, good things are to come of it! If anyone else has this set, I’d love to hear your take on it or see what you have created with it!
